Lee C 55 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 See them all the time they fly over the back garden to see what's going on and look at the bird. I have one the follows me about when I'm out hawking and it puts the bird off so I have to hide in the bushes for a bit to get it to bugger off! Also see pairs of them sat in the fields worming, it is quite strange to see such large birds working the soil. All the best Lee Quote Link to post
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Seen 3, coming back from fishing sunday, round the didcot area. Looks like they were on the shag as they kept pairing up then tumbling. Nice looking birds. Quote Link to post
Shaunm41 14 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I was watching a pair in Leeds the other day in a quarry, they were trying to dive on crows but having no luck. There is a few breeding pairs at hardwood house in Leeds. Great birds to watch. Quote Link to post
Lee C 55 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I see them every day. Fantastic looking birds. See a buzzard or two everyday on way to work and sometimes a spar the type with wing !! My mate said his Harris was chased by a gos the other day, I recon it must have been a female spar. No one bit of permission I have a bird that I can only describe as a perry. See it a few time at distance and once at close range ad it headed to wards cover I was in saw the black of his eyes!!
